Samantha Figueroa Latif

Ms. Samantha Figueroa Latif represented me in my divorce, that was, undoubtedly, one of the most challenging periods of my life. Samantha is an expert in her field. She knows all intricacies of the law and applies common sense to the facts as presented. Her legal advice was always relevant and fact-b...ased. Her ability to listen, understand and effectively communicate facts and a plan of action were truly amazing. Her passion for the job and for my individual case was palpable. In addition, Samantha’s personal warmth and exceptional thoughtfulness made me feel at ease during these difficult times. Amy, her office assistant, was extremely professional and compassionate. She returned my calls promptly and made all necessary steps to advance my case. I cannot thank Samantha and her staff enough – and I could not recommend them higher. THANK you for advocating for me!

I met Samantha Latif during challenging child custody case. There was so much confusion and dishonesty from the opposing side. However, Samantha always kept her calm and navigated the situation to my best benefit. She is thorough and takes her time to listen and understand your concerns. During thi...s stressful process, I always felt Samantha’s warm and sincere care. She was very honest and detailed in her explanation of the process and possible outcome. I felt that Samantha was always sensitive to my situation and listened to all of my concerns and needs. During the whole process, she was always available to me and I felt like my sister or some loved one to me with jurisdictional training and experience was fighting for my child’s best interest. Samantha knew more than my loved ones and during these dark times Samantha became my closest and dearest. Samantha has high standards of ethics and morality that stands out through her work. Samantha has great communication skills and her writing skills are effective, clear and well-reasoned. She is diplomatic, levelheaded, passionate for what she does and has a compassion for her clients. Samantha is respected by the judge. She knows how to propose her case to the judge, how diplomatically highlight wrongdoings of opposing side without disbarring. That says of Samantha’s high intelligence. Combination of Samantha’s strong knowledge of law and her humanly qualities hard to find these days. I hope, I never need an attorney again, however, Samantha will always be at my heart!

Let me start by saying that I met Ms. Latif during a very difficult divorce, a deeply challenging time in my life and in the midst of pandemic. There were multiple items to work with including custody for the children, alimony, house sale and an ex husband who changed several attorneys throughout the... process. In a situation like that, you do get to know your attorney pretty well. The sense of calm and reassurance that Samantha portrays was extremely helpful. At the same time she was always prepared, quick to respond and always on the spot with her legal advice. She is also a mother and a wife and can truly understand the intricacies of a divorce. To me that was maybe as important as the knowledge of the law. Nevertheless in a legal sense Samantha is an outstanding attorney that fought hard to get the best possible outcome for me and resolve this divorce in the fastest way. That fact itself saved me a lot of money. She is direct and will advise you so it works out for you. She is honest and grounded and doesn’t bill to play around with your case. In the world we live in, that is certainly a rare. I hope I don’t need a family law attorney again but if I do, there is no question in my mind who to call! Ms. Latif has my highest possible recommendation!!

From where shall I start: Samantha made sure from the start to understand all aspects of my case and all background information that can help or influence what I'm trying to achieve. She is organized, focused, empathytic and fair. She gives great feedback about what to expect and what not to.. She ...replays her understanding to make sure she got everything right to prepare the case documents without going back and forth several times. Samantha provides guidance when needed and she makes herself available on urgent occasions. As long as she believes in your case and the fairness of your demands, I felt that it became her own case and not just as my lawyer. I'll always recommend Samantha and return to her for any follow ups I may need to do in the court, being sure that my case are in safe and trusworthy hands.
